of his family to attend college by attending New York University and earning his medical degree in 1939. The next stop on Jonas Salk’s journey to Pittsburgh was at the University of Michigan. At the University of Michigan, Jonas Salk worked on a research fellowship that had the goal of creating an influenza vaccine. While here, he was lucky to reconnect with a friend and mentor from New York University, Thomas Francis Jr, who was instrumental in teaching…

of the United States explains her feelings about stem cell research by stating, “Now science has presented us with a hope called stem cell research, which may provide our scientists with many answers that have for so long been beyond our grasp.” Day after day, the research and use of stem cells greatly increase allowing for scientists to explore the unimaginable, creating a large amount of life from a single, minute cell. Stem cell research and therapy lead to medical enhancements, technology…

to cure any single cell disease, the ability to further research efforts in biology and neuroscience, and the ability to cure paralysis in patients. These feats are achieved because of stem cell therapy, but a limitation exists that stumps further ability for cures. Currently, stem cell therapy only works when exactly one type of cell needs replaced; once more types are added into the mix, stem cell therapy loses its value. Further research into stem cells will grant promise that multi-celled…

Prowls the Body From animals to humans, Lyme disease is affecting many individuals across the world. With symptoms such as fatigue and pain, Lyme disease can range from being debilitating to consuming your entire life. Scientists had very little research to find why the disease persists so long in the body until researchers at the University of Toronto investigated that the bacterium Borrelia Burgdorferi is the problem. It actually attaches to the inner surface of the organisms’ blood vessels.…

being able to articulate questions, create, examine, and combine information, recognize sources of information, assess the scope of study, reexamine questions based on the degree and nature of the research assignment, select the most suitable investigative data (surveys, interviews, experiments) and research tools (periodical indexes, databases, websites) that is what’s required in the business field. With this in mind, I have chosen to study the way G.R. Cluskey, Jr. and Alan C. Vaux (1997)…

Slaughter of Dolphins might lead to a complete change in the ecosystem since the role played by dolphins in the ecosystem will no longer be accomplished due to a fall in population and extinction. This will also lead to an Environmental degradation. Creation of awareness for the need to sustain Dolphins and protect the Aquatic ecosystem, implementation and enforcement of rules and regulations to defy killing of Dolphins and most…

Research Question: Genetically modified food, what do you need to know? Freedman, David H. "The Truth about Genetically Modified Food." Scientific American. N.p., 08 Aug. 2013. Web. 19 Oct. 2016. Freedman, a professor at University of California, argues that genetically modified crops say the technology is the only way to feed a warming, increasingly populous world. Critics say we tamper with nature at our peril. Who is right? Freedman’s assertion is that genetically modified foods are…

the ability to reproduce through cell division as well as differentiate into any type of cell (NIH). Embryonic stem cell research has great rewards with the possibilities of cell based therapies and cures of more than ten life altering diseases, but also has great consequences of cell rejection and the destroying of human embryos (NIH). The argument about stem cell research involves the parties of…

students in higher education and how to help students improve their writing practices. By performing the research project entitled “Perspectives in Academic Literacies: an Institutional Approach,” Lea and Street are able to get a look at these issues more in depth. By including both students and faculty in the study, there will be additional viewpoints to work off of to improve the research, demonstrating that the sharing of information is vital for the success of student writing.…
